When I saw the initial promotion for Glee back before it first started (last year?), I honestly expected it to get cancelled very quickly, leaving space for yet another damn Gordon Ramsey show, or something. Just based on the premise, the fact that it's caught on and survived this long really surprises me.

That said, I can't really critique it one way or the other, since I've never watched an episode (can't stand musicals). Just funny sometimes what turns out to be popular and what doesn't survive more than a couple of weeks.

You should give it a chance. Its not actually a musical. The music is either a dream or a performance. I hate musicals too. But this is different. Its not like everyone suddenly knows all the words and starts dancing.

can't stand the promos and really HATE the propaganda pieces they play on Fox using Glee. I have no interest in it. I too thought based on premise and promos that this would have been canceled after 1/2 a season or so.
